I have heard rumblings of a new Black Mountain album, which is exciting since it’s been a good two years since their eponymous debut reminded us that stoner rock doesn’t necessarily mean boring. So in celebration, here is "Voices", an enigmatic number from the Vancouver collective only available on Suicide Squeeze’s Slaying Since 1996 label retrospective. mmmm, sexy and sticky.

Another file from the bigger-than-it-seems Should’ve Picked This Up Sooner Even Though it Sounds a Lot Like The Jesus Lizard or Fugazi and So On Dept.: STNNNG’s “Grand Island, Neb.” A heartwarming tale of an ancient ship’s crew verbally abused by their commander as narrated from Minneapolis. My favorite quotation from “Ben Hur:” Row well and live. Ramming speed, slave!
